Against Levante, the homegrown player was once again out of the starting eleven for the second game, this time without playing as a substitute.
According to Mundo Deportivo's report, with Gerard Martin at centre-back, Hansi Flick opted to play Cancelo in his place and was the best
The competition at Barça does not give respite and Alejandro Balde knows it well. In the last two official matches, both in LaLiga, the left-back has not been in the starting eleven against Girona or Levante. In one he played the last half hour and in the other he was left on the bench.
Hansi Flick opted to play Cancelo as a left-back, preferring to change wings rather than rest Koundé, which was significant. Of the last five official matches, Balde has started against Mallorca and Atlético, one in LaLiga and another in the Copa del Rey.
Until now he had not linked so little participation in the team without an injury in between. The academy player, however, has shown signs of some irregularity. The irruption of Cancelo taking the MVP of the match is a 'threat'.
And despite everything, many European clubs are watching him carefully. Inter Milan and Manchester United are reportedly contemplating the possibility of signing him in the summer transfer window, although the player, with a contract in force, is not contemplating leaving Barça. Despite everything, neither did Flick.

Kounde should now be played in the center, so we play Cancelo and Balde as 2 and 3

So you believe Lamine is 18?😂 That guy is nothing less than 24
You just want to believe anything, there are a lot of videos of him from when He was 11 up till now. I even thought that He was 14 when Xavi Hernandez made him to debut for us, He's a small boy that's still growing

Balde and Cubarsi are not on the level to be starters. They are very lazy in defending especially Balde. Bade is offensively too very weak wth his poor decisions. He only got pace and dribbling but does not use them effectively. If you watch carefully, he is always the last person to play our opponent onside. His decisions are very bad. Not smart.

By your logic, Ronaldo must be pushing 50 🤣 Wake up man, european footballers don’t do that shit anymore, especially not in modern-day football. They don’t use age as a criterion at all, If a player can compete at the highest level at just 15 they’ll be allowed to play. Only before that you need to meet a certain age or level requirement to debut for your team so cut the crap, only African footballers still pull that occasionally
I’m not saying all but most, especially the black ones.

Eric is atleast 29 or 30. Those people are hiding their real age. That is just a football age

That guy is already playing far too many minutes at such a young age brov, fatigue is clearly setting in, sometimes we have to understand that no matter the massive expectations you’ve piled on him, he still hardly ever lets you down, even when he can’t give you 100% every single game. He’s just a kid and right now he’s easily one of the best players in world football. Sometimes we just have to appreciate what we’ve got, he’s still growing up, not a finished adult yet

if you see much Cancelo he came on loan so how can you let a player who is on loan without playing we need to use him as much before the loan gets expired Blade has a long team at Barcelona

Both him and Kounde, should be replaced. In fact that entire defence line needs to be replace expect Eric.

Complacency is worrying a lot of players…. … lamine too plays bad sometimes… he needs a serious competition
